Good Saturday morning!

We're still around. All of us are finally (mostly) over whatever got us last week. A couple of residual runny noses, but nothing more serious. Still don't know what it was, but it hit all five of us. For John and me it was nasty congestion. Oliver had a fever, too, but the girls had nasty coughs on top of all of that. I still wonder if it was RSV, because I know of a bunch of little kids who have had it recently. Not much you can do but wait it out, anyway, so that's what we did.

Trying to help everyone feel better this week, I made some homemade chicken and noodles. Mom, they turned out pretty darn good! I commented that they weren't quite as good as Nana's, and Maggie, the little sweetie, said, "Mama, I like yours and Nana's!" Just like I did as a kid, Evie and Maggie gobbled up all their noodles and left most of the meat behind. So I'd say they were yummy.

This morning, it's whole wheat pancakes from scratch with my cousin, Laura's, homemade jelly. (Which they chose over the Smucker's seedless strawberry jam sitting right next to it in the fridge. We LOVE it, Laura!!) If pancakes can be healthy, they will be this morning!

Most of you that are reading this are probably enjoying some snow. We've just got cold and wet and gray. So do some sledding and build a snowman for us here in north Texas!

And, Dad, I still can't comment on your blog. It must be my computer. I can do everything else on blogger and elsewhere except comment on your blog. Weird.

Also, I apologize for being AWOL lately. This month I've read all four Twilight books and realized that I miss reading SOOOO much. It's one of my most favorite things to do ever. Sorry, but books are way better than the computer. I haven't actually sat down and read a good book since before Oliver was born. I'm re-addicted. So, if ya got any good suggestions, throw them my way! Please!
